A day after blaming crystal methamphetamine for causing her to black out and forget her toddler in a gas station bathroom, a Vallejo woman pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to charges in connection with the incident.

Solano County prosecutors charged Joia Hukill, 21, with child desertion, child abandonment and possession of methamphetamine -- all felonies. Hukill also faces one count of misdemeanor child cruelty and one count of violating her probation in a separate case.

A probable cause hearing was scheduled for July 30.

Visiting Judge Arvid Johnson set Hukill's bail at $45,000. At Deputy District Attorney Shelly Small's request, the judge also ordered Hukill to have no contact with the child in the case.

Deputy Public Defender Karlene Navarro, who represented Hukill at the arraignment, declined to comment afterward.

On Monday, Hukill told Sacramento-based KXTV news that she was high on crystal meth when she forgot her son in the women's bathroom of the Chevron station at 400 Lincoln Road East in Vallejo on Saturday.

"I live in a prison with myself and I wish I was dead," Hukill said in an on-camera jailhouse interview. "I'm an addict, and I'm sorry for that."

Hukill told the station, "I've given up on myself. I can't promise you I'm always going to be clean because I don't know."

Hukill was arrested Saturday on suspicion of abandoning her 16-month-old son. A woman found the child in the bathroom at 5:15 p.m. and notified gas station employees, police said.

Police released a video image of the suspect taken at the gas station, and Hukill was arrested without incident hours later in Vallejo.
